The DYC Fundraiser is this Friday!
One last reminder to join us at the DYC Auction, this Friday evening! It is sure to be a great event, with top-notch auction items, entertainment and strolling supper as well as Master of Ceremonies Frank Beckmann.
From the DYC:
"A talented culinary staff is headed by Executive Chef Ken Dixon along with an outstanding team that includes Executive Sous Chef Craig Deck and Banquet Chef Michael Lange."
"Chef Ken's commitment to utilizing fresh ingredients, showcasing local, sustainable products has proven to keep him ahead of the trends in exceeding guest expectations. The creative menus and commitment to quality have distinguished Detroit Yacht Club over its' long history of epicurean excellence since 1868."

With a heavy heart, we share the news that John Sedrowski, a DRRA Volunteer and lifetime supporter of our sport in so many ways, passed away Sunday morning from complications following a surgery he had last week.
